University of Washington School of Dentistry
A person in motion, stays in motion. Our goal at the UW Dental Medicine in Motion chapter is to create a community of dental students and residents who strive to foster lifelong, holistic health habits. This includes good oral health, physical health and mental wellbeing. We hope to offer new and fun ways to stay active and connected during the current pandemic, while giving back to our community through philanthropy.

Abigail Koenig
Hi, my name is Abigail, and I am super excited to join UW's Medicine in Motion chapter! I love spending time outdoors and being active, so I really look forward to being part of a community centered around fitness as a stress-relieving and social outlet!
Delbert Oxborrow
Delbert is a 4th year dental student who plans to serve in the Air Force after graduation. He recognized early on that dental school had a lot of stress and committed to staying active as a way to cope. When not in clinic, you can find Delbert in the outdoors running, hiking, camping, and backpacking all over the Pacific Northwest. Medicine in Motion is his way of spending more quality time with quality people.
Levi Woolley
As an officer for Medicine in Motion, I am committed to fostering a positive and engaging environment where dental students can come together to promote their physical well-being and strengthen their sense of community. I believe in the importance of balancing the demands of dental school with recreational activities that support mental and physical health. Through my role, I aim to organize and facilitate events that encourage teamwork, stress relief, and personal growth. I am passionate about creating opportunities for students to connect outside the classroom, improve their fitness, and develop lasting friendships. Being part of Medicine in Motion allows me to contribute to a vibrant, supportive environment that enhances both the academic and social experiences of our peers.
Pedrom Imankhan
I joined medicine in motion as fitness has always held a crucial part of my life. From high school cross country and soccer, to running a 5k and lifting daily in college, training has always kept my mind and body performing at its peak.
As I started dental school, I wanted to make sure I continued to maintain my fitness mentally and physically, and wanted to encourage others to do the same. That is why I joined the Medicine in Motion club at the University of Washington School of Dentistry, as I am able to promote a healthy lifestyle among a community of like-minded individuals.
